The Week --A Fox News Poll shows that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.),
Planned Parenthood, ObamaCare, and Vice President Mike Pence are all viewed
more favorably than President Trump.

The poll of 1,008 registered voters found
that 43 percent approve and 51 percent disapprove of the job Trump is doing as
president. Respondents were also asked to say if they had a favorable or
unfavorable opinion of several people, groups, and items, and Sanders came out
on top, with 61 percent having a favorable reaction and 32 percent unfavorable,
followed by Planned Parenthood (57 percent favorable, 32 percent unfavorable);
ObamaCare (50 percent favorable, 47 percent unfavorable); and Pence (47 percent
favorable, 43 percent unfavorable). Only 44 percent had a favorable view of
Trump, while 53 percent had an unfavorable view.

Not only elites would not support Sanders, but consider how many people voted for 45 because he said he was going to help working people. There are plenty of gullible people in the US, who drink the GOP Kool-aid and vote against their own interests.

SAY IT AGAIN, SAM
